Not weird at all. My Dad passed away when I was in highschool. I walked myself down the aisle. No big deal. Had one of my close guy friends made it to our wedding, I may have chose to have one of them walk me down, but I was fine going it alone.

No not weird at all! If I had the guts to tell my Dad I wanted to walk down the aisle on my own I would! I don't like the whole 'giving away' tradition, but know it means a lot to my Dad - even though we're not that close! Wish I had the guts......!

Traditional ceremonies are a thing of the past. You'll be fine walking down the isle by yourself. I'm thinking of doing the same as my father is deceased, my brother my not attend, and I want my mother to see me walking down the isle. She had something to say about it but at the end of the day its "my day".

a coworker overheard my conversation about this with a (close) coworker and said "it's such a shame your father doesn't want to walk you down the aisle. That doesn't make for a very good start to a marriage".

i was so shocked i didn't know what to say. she made me want to run to the washroom and cry....but maybe i'm just being too sensitive.....

we're already having a chinese tea ceremony beforehand - the part our parents really want us to have, so the western ceremony doesn't mean much to them, it's for us.

much better now. yup. its what i want, who cares what ppl might say, as long as we're happy.
